Phillips-Frohlick St. Joan of arc, Jhesus Maria replacement ring

ABSTRACT

I, Russell Leslie Phillips, together with Virginia Lindsley Frohlick, created the +Jhesus+Maria+Ring, to replace the one that was taken from Saint Jeanne D&#39;Arc in the year 1431. We manufactured it, using present day lettering and medieval crosses; to combine the past and the future. We did it to give Saint Jeanne D&#39;Arc a better ring than she originally had, because she was exposed to beautifull pieces of ‘heavenly’ jewellery, that Saints Michael Archangel, Catherine of Alexandria, and Margharita of Antioch, wore upon their heads, when they appeared to her.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A gift from her mother, Saint Jeanne D'Arc's most cherished personalpossession, was a ring of engraved gold. It was cruelly taken from herfinger, when she became a prisoner of the British authorities, duringher ‘trial of condemnation’ in the year 1431.

In February of the year 2002, I Russell Leslie Phillips, or Safed,Israel, began to read the trial records that are found on ‘the SaintJoan of Arc center’ web site.

I became inspired, in my professional capacity as a diamond grader andjeweler, to design another ring, with the intention of offering it as a‘gift of love’ and as a ‘replacement’ for the one taken from SaintJeanne D'Arc.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

I, Russell Leslie Phillips, of Safed, Israel, together with VirginiaLindsley Frohlick of Albuquerque, New-Mexico, did jointly create the‘Jhesus Maria ring’, to replace the one that was confiscated from SaintJeanne D'Arc, at her ‘trial of condemnation’, in the year 1431.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The ‘Jhesus Maria ring’was Manufactured in the base metal of silverfirst, as a mode, by constructing two separate rings; one with thelettering and crosses, and then mounting that, on to another ‘mattebackground’ ring.

Once this ‘base metal model’ had been handworked, it was then made intoa wax mode, from which the ‘investment casting’ process can constructthe model desired, in either ‘sterling silver’, ‘14 kt’, or ‘18 kt’.Yellow or white gold.

24 kt gold is ‘fine gold’, that is; 100% pure gold.

18 kt. ‘yellow’ or ‘white’ gold is composed of; 75% ‘fine gold’, and 25%other alloy, such as, copper in the case of ‘yellow’ gold, or nickel inthe case of ‘white’ gold.

14 kt. ‘yellow’ or ‘white’ gold is composed of; 58.5% ‘fine gold’, and41.5% other alloy, such as, copper in the case of ‘yellow’ gold, ornickel in the case of ‘white’ gold.

References to the above gold standard information are from the ‘Santa Fesymposium’.
